To capture valuable insights while protecting user privacy, you need to collect consent from your website users. We recommend you use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) or work with your Content Management System (CMS) to collect consent and send it to Google.
To set up consent collection via your CMP:
- Use a CMP that integrates with Shopify’s Customer Privacy API.
- Refer to your CMP’s instructions for any necessary configuration details.
Learn more about how to Set up your consent banner with a consent management platform or a content management system.
If you’re using the Google & YouTube app for conversion tracking and have set up your CMP, consent mode should work automatically.
